- +12% high school attendance—equivalent to nearly three extra weeks of learning
- 43% fewer suspensions in early and middle grades
- Stronger relationships: family-school communication grew more positive over time
- Equity impact: gains were strong among historically underserved students
- Tone matters: students linked to more positive messages had better attendance and fewer suspensions
